Aquarium of the Pacific

My parents were in town this last weekend at a conference and decided to come see us before heading home. I had this great coupon for the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, so we decided to take the kids up there. Doug was at an all day scout training meeting, so he missed all the fun. Doug and I took Ryan once when he was little, however, he was not very interested in the fish. He loved it this go around, it was Tyler that didn't seemed to be very impressed. Ryan loved petting the Sting Rey's and sharks. He sat and touched them for 30 minutes. Tyler was more interested in eating snacks in the stroller.
Both boys taking it all in.
Ryan watching the diver feed the fish and sharks...pretty cool. He had a microphone and could actually talk to us from inside the tank.

Ryan was so excited to find "Nemo" and "Dory" fish.

It was a very fun day with Grandma and Grandpa. We were glad they were able to come and see us. We wish they lived closer. :(

Tyler did finally stick his hands into the tank. He thought it was a lot of fun until a String Rey came really close to his fingers and then he was done.
